JOSEPH LEVINE and SONS
www.levinefuneral.com Gerald Stanley Brenner, beloved husband of
Linda (Byer), passed away on February 11,
2021 at the age of 86. Born in Brooklyn,
Gerry was the son of Abraham and Jean
(Dembowitz), and adoring younger brother of
Melvin, who predeceased him by just fifteen
months. Gerry graduated from Samuel J.

Tilden High School and the City College of
New York before flying (for the first time in
his life) to the University of Wisconsin where
he earned his PhD in Organic Chemistry. He
met his b’shert, Linda (a seventeen-year-old
freshman), during his first week on campus.

They were married three years later, in 1959.

Gerry and Linda settled first in Plainfield, New
Jersey, later moving to Plymouth Meeting,
where they resided for nearly fifty years. They
have belonged to Tiferet Israel Synagogue in
Norristown, and subsequently Tiferet Bet Is-
rael Synagogue in Blue Bell, since moving to
the area in 1971. Gerry’s career, which was
also clearly his hobby, spanned nearly sixty
years. He retired from Merck and Company
as Senior Director of Pharmaceutical Re-
search after 33 years, and began a second
career as a consultant and expert witness to
the pharmaceutical industry for another 24
years. When he wasn’t doing the work he
loved so passionately, he could be found on
the racquetball court, in the garden, working
on a home improvement project, or traveling
with his beloved Linda. Gerry was full of grat-
itude for all of his blessings, and was always
eager to give of himself to others. Whether in
service to his synagogue or other charitable
organizations or serving as an advocate to
those who had difficulty advocating for them-
selves, he did the work quietly and without
fanfare, but always to the utmost of his abilit-
ies. Gerry’s greatest joy, in addition to his be-
loved Linda, was his brood of children,
grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He is
loved and missed by his children, Jeffrey
(Tamar) Brenner, Beth (Dan) Heyman and
Susan (Gidon) Yitzhak; his grandchildren, Av-
raham, Rachael, Asher, Shayna and Chaya
Brenner, Bennett (Sara), Noah (Craig Arno)
and Aaron Heyman, Brit (Elad) Siman Tov, Li-
ad, Merav, Sarah and Ovadiah Yitzhak; and
great-grandchildren, Dakota, Randy and Am-
ber Kraus and Yaakov and Avital Siman Tov.

The family respectfully suggests memorial
donations be directed to Tiferet Bet Israel,
University of Wisconsin Hillel, or the Gerald
Brenner Science Scholarship at City College
of New York.

BRODSKY Larry H. Brodsky, on January 28, 2021. Be-
loved husband of Nancy (nee Blume). Lov-

Brodsky and Carrie Brodsky. Loving son of
the late Melvin and late Sonia Brodsky. Also
survived by many nieces, nephews, and great
nieces. Graveside services were private.

DIAMOND Dr. Herbert Diamond, 98, passed away in
Bryn Mawr on January 31, 2021 after a fall
and rapid decline. He was predeceased by his
loving wife, Charlotte (2007) and his later-in-
life love, Shirley Luber (2020). Dr. Diamond
is survived by his immediate family, Lenore
and Dr. Stephen Robins, Meg Diamond, Dr.

Steven Diamond, Dr. Diane Lichtenstein and
his granddaughters, Dr. Rachel Diamond and
her fiancé Josh Sandler, Paula Diamond and
Cara Robins. Dr. Diamond was a graduate of
both The University of Pennsylvania and its
School of Medicine and spent his life living
and working in the greater Philadelphia area.

He began his career at a time when anti-
psychotic medication first became available
and there was optimism that patients in state
mental hospitals could be transitioned into
community based psychiatric clinics. The
promise of independence for those with ma-
jor mental illness was on the horizon. Dr.

Diamond believed in this potential and spent
his career as Medical Director of the West
Philadelphia Community Mental Health Con-
sortium. He spent his retirement contribut-
ing to the community he lived in, Beaumont
at Bryn Mawr, through multiple volunteer po-
sitions as well as tending a garden to be as-
sured of a supply of summer fresh tomatoes.

He also travelled widely throughout his life,
enjoying many family adventures and nature
tours. A private burial is planned.
